Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric stand or hand mixer
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Baking sheets
  • Parchment paper
  • Cooling racks

Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter melted and cooled
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chunks
  • 1 cup finely chopped milk chocolate

Instructions

Prepare the Dough

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. In another large bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Use a mixer to blend until smooth.

Incorporate Wet Ingredients

  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract for a rich aroma.

Combine Dry and Wet Mixtures

  • Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture in two to three batches. Mix gently to avoid overworking the dough.

Add Chocolate

  • Fold in the semisweet chocolate chunks and chopped milk chocolate, ensuring they’re evenly distributed.

Chill the Dough

  • Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes to help it firm up and prevent spreading during baking.

Shape and Bake

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop dough into 2-tablespoon portions, roll into balls, and place on the sheet. Leave space for spreading. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until edges are golden brown.

Cool and Enjoy

  • Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

For the best results, use high-quality chocolate and chill the dough before baking to prevent spreading. Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days, or freeze the dough for fresh cookies anytime.
